SADLIBR MONTREAL and TORONTO SLATE WORK is here commenced. The Alphabet is given in the best popular vr i*^i^ and m the simplest Conivioti Print, both in separate letters and in words, printed in white upon a black ground, for daily exer- cises. The words are the names of objects illustrated by twenty-six wood-cuts uniform in size. Several Lessons also are printed in Writing. The First Readings and their Reviews alternate ana tace one another, each lesson occupying a page. Thus is exhibited at a single opening of the book the Illustrations and New Words of the two Lessons. The Reading Lessons which begin on page 35, though various in subject and interest, are intimately connected with reference to construction and gradation. They are calculated to awaken observation and fix the attention, and to impart important moral and religious truths and precepts. ^The Lists of Words for Pronunciation and Spelling, while giving all New Words, serve as General Reviews. The Pronunciation of all Doubtful Words is also given in the Body of the ReaHinas. le Alphabet and m the Iters and in r daily exer- lustrated by wessons also iltornate ana e.
